Where are the website's links? I don't see a menu?
In order to navigate pages on this site, you need to have JavaScript installed and enabled. The menu should show up on the left side of the page in the white box.

First, check to see if it is enabled. In Internet Explorer, go to Internet Options → Security → Custom Level. Scroll all the way down toward the bottom where you will see Scripting. Make sure that all options under scripting are either selected as enable or prompt. Once this is completed, make sure to refresh the page you are viewing.

If the menu still does not appear or in the last step, Scripting did not show up under Internet Options, you need to install JavaScript. Visit http://www.java.com/en/download/index.jsp for installation files and instructions.

Finally, if you cannot get the menu to show or choose not to use JavaScript, you can view all the APA-IL pages at: http://www.ilapa.org/sitemap.html
